Complex Text Language (CTL) support for entering Hebrew, Arabic, or Thai has been implemented in en_US.UTF-8 and European UTF-8 locales, but is not supported in ja_JP.UTF-8, ko.UTF-8, also known as ko_KR.UTF-8, zh.UTF-8, which is also known as zh_CH.UTF-8, and zh_TW.UTF-8 locales.
Workaround: Use the en_US.UTF-8 locale if you need to enter Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew using CTL. If you want to enter those languages in Asian and Japanese UTF-8 locales:
Create a symbolic link to common CTL modules. In the case of ja_JP.UTF-8:
# cd /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8 # mkdir LO_LTYPE ; cd LO_LTYPE # ln -s ../../common/LO_LTYPE/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1 # mkdir sparcv9 ; cd sparcv9 # ln -s ../../../common/LO_LTYPE/sparcv9/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1 |
Edit the /usr/openwin/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE file by commenting out the load_option delay_nocheck line from Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew entries; for example, in the case of Thai):
# fs14 class (Thai) fs14 { charset TIS620.2533-0:GR font { # load_option delay_nocheck <--- comment out primary TIS620.2533-0:GR }} |

The Add, Modify, and Remove User screens are blank in the Greek locale of the Solstice AdminToolTM.
